The iPhone 16 series, expected to launch in 2024, is poised to bring significant updates, as highlighted in a recent analysis by Jeff Pu, shared by 9to5Mac.
The lineup is anticipated to include the iPhone 16 and iPhone 16 Plus, along with the higher-end iPhone 16 Pro and iPhone 16 Pro Max models.
Apple’s decision to use different modems in the iPhone 16 and iPhone 16 Pro models suggests a deliberate diversification strategy, potentially creating a noticeable difference in 5G speeds between the standard and Pro lineups.
The upgrade in the camera system, particularly the Ultra Wide camera in the Pro models, is expected to significantly enhance the quality of photography and video recording, offering sharper images and more detailed video capture.
The iPhone 16 and iPhone 16 Plus are anticipated to feature the A18 processor, built on a 3-nanometer process for improved power and efficiency.
The iPhone 16 Pro models are likely to include the A18 Pro chip, indicating a boost in performance.
The iPhone 16 and 16 Plus are expected to use the Qualcomm X70 modem, enhancing 5G capabilities.
The Pro models might incorporate the Qualcomm X75 modem, which is tailored for 5G Advanced, suggesting superior 5G performance in these models.
Analysts forecast an upgrade in the iPhone 16 Pro’s Ultra Wide camera to a 48MP sensor, which could significantly enhance photo and video quality, especially in spatial recording.
The iPhone 16 and 16 Plus are likely to support Wi-Fi 6E, offering faster speeds and better performance.
The iPhone 16 Pro models might support the newly launched Wi-Fi 7, providing even more advanced connectivity options.
The latest “Proto2” prototype of the iPhone 16 Pro shows a design shift, adopting a smaller Action button akin to that of the iPhone 15 Pro.
This contrasts with earlier prototypes that experimented with different sizes and placements for the Action button.
Early prototypes of the iPhone 16 Pro included a unified volume button and a smaller multi-purpose Action button.
This design was part of the discontinued Project Bongo, which initially aimed to bring haptic buttons to the iPhone 15 Pro.
What was the purpose of Apple’s Project Bongo and how did it influence the iPhone 16 Pro’s design?
Project Bongo was an attempt to introduce haptic buttons to the iPhone 15 Pro. Although the project was canceled, its design elements, particularly the unified volume button, influenced early versions of the iPhone 16 Pro.
The “Proto2” prototype suggests that Apple may be moving away from the idea of a capacitive Action button, as it features a smaller, more traditional Action button similar to the iPhone 15 Pro.
The iPhone 16 rumours suggest that the iPhone 16 Pro might feature a 6.3-inch display, while the iPhone 16 Pro Max could come with a 6.9-inch screen.
These would be an increase from the current 6.1-inch and 6.7-inch displays of the iPhone 15 Pro and Pro Max, respectively.
The iPhone 16 Pro series is rumoured to introduce a new metal shell battery, a departure from traditional foil coverings.
Additionally, there are talks of incorporating a graphene thermal system to enhance heat dissipation and improve the device’s overall performance.
Among the iPhone 16 rumours, the Pro model is expected to inherit the 5x zoom tetraprism camera from the iPhone 15 Pro Max.
The iPhone 16 Pro Max might feature a periscope ultra-long telephoto camera. Both models are also rumoured to include new Sony sensors for better low-light photography.
